What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For project, task and product management, Asana is the real deal. It's affordable and offers some of the best features.

What differentiates Asana from other similar products?

Asana has a sea of competition - it seems that there are dozens of similar tools that offer something similar. Asana though has the best cost to benefit ratio in my opinion. It is also well known internationally as well, I have come to find. We recently hired ~15 international staff and nearly every member already knew about Asana and could easily track their progress & tasks without training.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Asana is highly user-friendly, and can serve as a "team hub" or "company hub" for all of the most important functions. With these types of tools, I find it extremely critical that it does not take more time to manage tasks and keep everything updates than to just do the work and keep a basic list elsewhere. Asana makes it very quick and snappy to build a calendar, tasks, and assign things out. We use the different views (kanban, calendar, tree, etc.) to visualize things during our weekly team meeting and it has allowed us to very quickly review the most important priorities for the week ahead. The cost is very cheap for this tool.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The mobile app version (Android in my case) is lacking some features and I don't particularly enjoy using it. That said, most of the time I am already at my computer anyway and can easily work in the desktop version.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The "free" version of Asana is surprisingly robust - I would recommend performing a pilot with a small group of 5 or so users to test the waters and determine if the interface and features fit your business needs. Personally, I find using more than 1 of these types of software highly exhausting, so making sure this works for your business will avoid duplication of work and/or having to maintain more than 1 platform.

What differentiates Asana from other similar products?

Asana is reasonably priced and capable of supporting a wide range of potential use cases, including agile project management and collaboration.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

When it comes to Asana Business, one of the favourite features is the ability to create strategic goals at the corporate level. This enables managers to link specific projects to specific targets or to a specific team handling the project, ensuring that everything remains on track.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There is not so much to dislike about Asana, but the user experience (UX) might be improved, which will enable users to navigate to tasks easily.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you're looking for a project management tool with more advanced features, Asana Business is for you. Mid-sized teams and businesses with many projects spread across several divisions will find the product to be an excellent choice.
